Strange. What's he waiting for? I mean no disrespect, but working as a carpenter is quite unpleasant, especially considering he could be playing on the PDC circuit and not have to hold down that job as well.

Ignoring the fact he might actually enjoy his job (like Wade being obsessed with fixing cars), it's definitely risky moving to the PDC circuit with the strength in depth they have over there. Mervyn King is a far better player than Scott Waites and he has yet to win a PDC Major. Same with the likes of Baxter, Mardle and Chisnall. These guys have all had successful careers on the PDC circuit, but any decent player on the BDO circuit knows that they will have a huge chance to bag Ł100,000 in January and the title of World Champion. It must be difficult to go from being one of the big boys to being mediocre. An 86 average isn't all too impressive in one of your finest performances. He played just as well last year and lost to Ted Hankey.
